After a forest fire in the Kenos forestry of the VMU Šalčininkai regional division, in quarter 207, 4.2 hectares of forest area burned down. The fire damaged the forest floor, shrubs, undergrowth, and tree trunks. Although at first glance some trees may appear healthy, after the fire they may be less stable and pose a danger.

For this reason, VMU asks residents and forest visitors not to visit the fire-affected area for now. Its perimeter is marked with STOP tape – please do not cross it.
VMU foresters will monitor how the forest recovers after the fire. It is expected that the majority of the pines will remain viable, but it takes time to assess this, so no work will be carried out in this area in the near future.

“We thank everyone who contributed to extinguishing the fire. Especially – the members of the Savičiūnai firefighters team for their prompt assistance.
Please take care of yourselves, do not enter the area fenced off with STOP tape, and share this information with others,” the forestry office’s Facebook page states.
